5th International Workshop on Quantum Compilation

The workshop aims to bring together researchers from quantum computing, electronic design automation, and compiler construction. Open questions that we anticipate this group to tackle include new methods for circuit synthesis, optimization, and rewriting, techniques for verifying the correctness of quantum programs, and new techniques for compiling efficient circuits and protocols regarding fault-tolerant and architecture constraints.

Submission Guidelines

The main purpose of the workshop is to exchange recent ideas and research in the area of quantum compilation. The workshop has no formal proceedings. Authors are invited to submit an abstract or a paper, with no restrictions on the format. Submission of tool and case-study papers are highly encouraged. In case of a positive evaluation, submissions are accepted either as oral or poster presentation to be part of the workshop program. All abstracts and papers are distributed only among the participants. 

Accepted submissions should be presented in person in Paris — please note the workshop dates! Submissions must point out who will present the contribution if it is selected.

Submisison instructions is via EasyChair. Please submit your contribution here https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwqc23
